First of all, hats off to ND & Ceretropic team esp. /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb for providing quality service(& information/Knowledge :) ). I am about to make an order for a couple of Products from ND & before placing one, I am curious to know if ND is planning to release any new products this June( Like herbal stacks) . If yes, I would hold from placing order for now.
Requesting /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb to provide comparison between ND's Rhodiola (3 % Salidrosode, 1 % Rosavin) and other top selling Rhodiola extracts like Eclectic,Gaia. Does ND's Rhodiola have other bio-active compounds like Tyrosol(seen in Super Rhodiola), Procyanidins(EGCG) and if yes what % of Tyrosol?.This will help me make a decision on purchase. Thanks very much.

Eclectic institute is a whole freeze dried powder, not an extract. It's pretty good.
That Eclectic Institute's Rhodiola makes me feel like a million bucks and unfortunately it's almost always out of stock (at iHerb). Can you please help me work out which Rhodiola on Ceretropic and/or NootropicsDepot would match the effects of Eclectic's Rhodiola?

If you go based off Eclectic Institute's claims, it contains about 3% Rosavins and 1% Salidrosides. Our 3% Rosavins extract would be most like it. You'll get more Salidroside in ours, though. So ours might be a bit more stimulating. You can try a 500mg dose of our 3% Rosavins version, and see how you feel. We also sell a sample pack with both our versions, so you can try them back to back. This is on Nootropics Depot, by the way. The Ceretropic Super Rhodiola has double the salidroside as the Eclectic, and 8 times the tyrosol. It's really meant as a very stimulating version. It has no rosavins, though. So it will feel different than the Eclectic. Many people love it, though.
At some point I'll send some Eclectic Institute stuff off to be analyzed, and confirm the species and rosavin/salidroside content in it. For now I can just go off their claims.
If you try any of ours, please let me know what you think!
